1

Preheat the Oven!

To get started, preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). We want it nice and hot for our granola adventure!

2

Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of rolled oats, 1 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut, 1/2 cup of chopped almonds, and 1/2 cup of cacao nibs. Feel free to throw in a handful of chocolate chips if you want an extra burst of chocolatey goodness!

3

Whisk the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil, 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Make sure everything is well combined and smooth, just like a perfectly melted chocolate bar.

4

Bring It All Together

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and give it a good stir. Make sure every oat, coconut flake, and almond gets a generous coat of chocolatey goodness. It's like a chocolate spa treatment for your granola!

5

Spread and Bake

Transfer the chocolatey mixture to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread it out in an even layer, ensuring the granola gets its chance to become golden and crispy. Pop it in the preheated oven and let it bake for about 25-30 minutes. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't burn!

6

Let It Cool and Enjoy

Once the granola is beautifully golden brown and your kitchen smells like a cocoa paradise, take it out of the oven and let it cool completely. This will ensure maximum crunchiness. Scoop some into a bowl, pour your favorite milk (dairy or non-dairy) over it, and take a moment to appreciate the chocolaty heaven you've just created.
